Sorry - my message got away before I'd finished it (was copying it from a letter). I want to thank those on the Tioga List, the web site and others for helping me with information about my gr-gr-grandmother Harriet Stewart (or Stuart - spelled both ways at times) whose maiden name I had not been able to discover. I had a breakthrough when a second cousin wrote to say she'd found our gr-gr-grandmother Melissa Pier's tombstone in Corning, NY (just where I thought she must be). And she sent an obit at well. The obit said she'd been living w grandson Erastus S. Pier in Knoxville. My cousin had asked the historian who told her it was just over the PA border. But I looked in French's 1864 Gazetteer which said there was a tiny village just "opposite Corning." But the PA mention made me remember I'd found some Piers on a PA County list. Looking thru email in the Pier folder I keep (boy, am I glad I print messages out and keep them!) I found a note I'd written in 1998 to the author of a Pier book. I wrote : "I'm really curious about the mention in your book of a Harriet Stevens who m George Stewart and resided in Waverly in 1885 with a daughter." In 1998, I knew nothing more about Harriet Stewart. But since then, I'd found Harriet Stewart in the 1880 Census with her daughter Eleanor Philips in Barton, Tioga County. The county web site has an 1878 Tioga Gazetteer for Barton OUTSIDE WAVERLY. And there is Harriet, widow of George H. Stewart!! Seeing Waverly now in that old email message made me realize that this Harriet Stevens was my gr-gr-grandmother! So thanks to all for their work on the list and web site! I am really thrilled.
